stacked purchases
This is a problem related to the client we use. I petitioned this issue when stacks of items first became purchaseable, and a GM on live explained this as follows:
There is an error in rounding, made by the client, whenever the price of multiple items is tallied. "Think of it as an extra charge for the convenience of buying in bulk," is basically what the GM told me.
You can always avoid the problem by buying items singly. The extra cost of buying stacked items is usually small, except with gems and metal bars, where it can add up to quite a lot. Of course, if you are at the point where buying stacks of rubies is not a big deal, then neither is the 40pp or so extra that you are losing.
